Hi guys, As was recently brought up on LAD there is an inconsistency with recording in MusE. Actually the issue was that when one stops recording the armed enabled tracks are no longer armed. I examined this and found that midi and audio tracks work differently. Midi tracks keep their arm-state whereas audio tracks do not. Now, I didn't think this through that much yet but it seems wrong that it is not consistent. As the reporter notes the audio-track behaviour makes it quite taxing to do re-takes with multiple rec tracks, all tracks must be armed explicitly all the time. If we were to keep the arm-state for audio tracks we should have a quick way of clearing all armed tracks (perhaps there is one hidden somewhere) Any thoughts? Regards, Robert |

There was something weird about the record arming that bothered me and this may be it. I always felt like I had to triple check everything before recording. If you arm it (on the left trackinfo part), it should stay armed until you un-arm it (like midi does). Then all you have to do to record is make sure you set your inputs and click the record button on the menu or transport. Another WISH would be to make it more apparent that something is being recorded. I have lost recordings (both audio and midi) a few times simply because I thought it was recording, but it wasn't because I forgot to set something correctly. For example, make the track turn red, show the part being recorded as it happens or make some big blinking red "recording" text show up. Most sequencing software I've used in the past has been much more clear that recording is going on. You may want to have a look at ardour 2or3 for ideas on this. Geoff |

In Ardour et al it's usual to have a modifier for un-arming rec tracks - eg: shift_LMB on a track rec button will un-arm all tracks simultaneously. conversly, shift_LMB on one track rec button will arm all tracks. invaluable for large projects and group work. best, g.
